You may be feeling the need to respond\, but unsure of how to begin. Start your journey with us as we take a day apart to develop as leaders – as the poet-prophets – that we want to be in the world. \nSpend a day reconnecting with yourself\, community\, and the natural world.

Cost: $25 \nLed by Dr. Deborah Rundlett \nYou’ve felt the call to respond to the disruptive challenges of our times—yet the question remains: how? This workshop invites you to nurture the Poet and Prophet within your leadership. \n\nThe Poet gives voice to what our communities are yearning for.\nThe Prophet calls us to courageous action.\n\nTogether\, Poet and Prophet empower us to lead change that brings life—to our communities\, our organizations\, and ourselves. \nFind your voice.

Cost: $40 \nLed by Kate Loewengart\, RYT 200 Hour & Mindfulness Instructor\, Wellness Resident at The Meetinghouse \nThe poetry of Sanskrit wisdom and the prophetic nature of ancient chants have the power to bring us together more deeply as yogis and those hoping to make change in the world. Sanskrit is a language that teaches us that while words have meaning\, it is the physical experience of those words — their vibration — that allow for connection and integration. Kirtan\, or community chanting\, offers a path to experience this vibration through bhakti (BHAK-tee)\, the yoga of devotion; jnana (gyah-nah)\, the yoga of wisdom; and mantra\, the yoga of sound. Designed for anyone curious about mantras and chanting or those with experience ready to practice in community\, this workshop will include a discussion of meaning\, an exploration into the significance of chanting for both the personal and communal\, group chanting\, and a closing restorative practice that savors the energy we create through sound. Each yogi will leave with a deeper understanding of kirtan as a practice\, a chant or mantra that speaks to them\, and a mala to continue practice at home or in community.

SUMMARY:Nancy Moore: Women and Other Animals | Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nWomen and Other Animals\nPaintings by Nancy Moore\nSeptember 7 – October 12\, 2025\n\nOpening Reception\nAn opening reception will be held September 7\, 2025 from 2-4 pm.\nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \n  \nArtist’s Biography\nThere are many ways to unlock parts of ourselves. For Nancy Moore\, the key arrived while working as a book editor (her profession for 38 years)\, in the form of a deluxe 96-pack of Crayola crayons she treated herself to in a moment of crazy. She opened the lid\, and the scent transported her to the cool green linoleum floor of her childhood playroom\, where she spent hours blissfully imagining and drawing. Those crayons\, along with watercolor and pencil\, led Moore to create her first painting as an adult: a chameleon titled “Self-Portrait\,” the idea being that women are continually shedding and growing new emotional and intellectual skin as they adapt to the myriad roles they assume. That painting\, the first one to sell in her first exhibition\, was all the incentive Moore needed to keep painting as she juggled job and family. \nAs time passed\, Moore’s chameleons began sporting women’s heads and hands\, eventually becoming fully realized women. This direction led to her ongoing series of “Unconventional Women.” According to Moore: “I feel like I’ve tapped into a rich vein of material that I’ll be mining for a long time to come. These women keep appearing in my head\, whispering to my heart\, and dancing onto the paper—I’m trying my best to keep up with them. At this point\, I feel like I’m creating the community of women I want to be surrounded with.” The artist also continues to paint animals and botanica\, and returning to that well of inspiration is an act of renewal for her. \nMoore paints predominantly on large slices of beautiful archival paper\, choosing to work with watercolor\, graphite\, gouache\, metallic paint\, colored pencil\, wax crayon\, and wood burner. Her themes include transformation\, ethnography\, design\, shape-shifting\, gender identity\, evolution\, fashion\, and creation myth. \nThe artist is self-taught and proud of that\, reveling in the distortion of body proportions and perspective in her work. The goal here is to create narratives from emotion and instinct\, hoping to translate what bubbles up in her mind\, through her hand\, and onto the paper. \nIn 2005\, Moore was invited to exhibit her paintings of the animal world at the opening of the Environmental Sciences Center at Yale University’s Peabody Museum. What was supposed to be a 3-week-long exhibition ended up running for one year. Her scope has continued to expand\, with work widely exhibited in galleries\, museums\, and other public institutions. Her paintings also hang in many private homes\, from Vermont to California. \n  \nTo see more of Nancy Moore’s work: \n\nVisit her website: www.nancymooreart.com\nFollow her on Instagram: #nancymooreart\nContact her: nancymooreart@gmail.com\n\nAll of Moore’s work is also available as signed\, limited-edition giclée prints \n
